Honestly, with most distributions worth considering, you can use Google
to find _somebody's_ custom installation boot floppy supporting your
favourite exotic filesystem type.  For Debian, I think I recently even 
came across one with IBM JFS support built in.

Or, if not, it's really not a big deal to just install on something
standard, then get or make a kernel supporting the exotic filesystem,
then migrate your hard drive, one partition at a time, by moving
contents onto a temporary filesystem and rebuilding the original one.
The latter process is a little time-consuming, but, on the other hand,
you'll need only do it once.
